    Castle Amber - your experiences?

    Somewhat Tangentially: I've just e-bayed a copy of this, and was thinking of running soon 3.5 style - what level is it suitable for given a modern "average of 4 characters at the same level" approach? Thanks; M

    D&D World Demographics

    I tend to use the DMG tables, but expand them to cover larger geographical areas - take the largest settlement in the area, generate the NPC lvls from that, and then spread them out over the whole area.

    Where do I round up Greyhawk info

    Hi All; I've just started a new campaign, and fate has decreed it should be set in Greyhawk. As far as I can see, the other settings all have big books with all the maps and information you need to run games in that world (Forgotten Realms, DragonLance, Eberron) where as the Greyhawk stuff is...
